Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 13 June to Question 188411 on Oral Tobacco, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of prohibiting the (a) sale and (b) supply of oral nicotine pouches to people under 18.
This question was answered on 20th July 2023
No formal assessment has been made. Prevalence of nicotine pouches remains low, and whilst there is currently no age of sale restrictions on nicotine pouches, manufacturers do print age restrictions on their packs. We will keep this under review.
